I told you Friday night of our trip to University of Maryland Eastern Shore to follow Campbell volleyball over the weekend. Yes we found a motel room for Friday night and we made a decision to come home Saturday night after volleyball which ended around 8:30 pm. By the way Campbell won the tournament and heading to this weekend conference play starts they stand 8-7 having lost to four teams in the volleyball top 50.
So at 8:30 we head home to Rocky Mount which is about a 4 hour and 45 minute trip. We had to stop in Franklin Va. To get 2.99 a gallon gas so we pull in the driveway at 1:40 am. I did an unforgivable and did not go to church Sunday so by the time I got up the NFL pregame shows are on all the channels. It didn't take long to tire of the Ray Rice talk. Please Sunday is game day lets stick to football instead of who lied, who knew and who knew what when. I really at this point am ready to rid the Ray Rice talk about the same as all the political ad lies all over TV. I turn off the football shows to watch a 1950 black and white movie.
The football was worth watching as for almost all the games I didn't hear the name Ray Rice once. We live in the moment these days and if the Super Bowl was Sunday I think Phoenix would represent the NFC and at this point the AFC is more wide open.
I don't think New England will be around by the conference championship game. Indy gives up too many points, despite losing to Seattle I can see the Denver D is better but there is no way their offense can have the year they had last year. I see San Diego giving everyone in the AFC trouble. Cincy looks as good as anybody but I need to see more when the tough games start. This is of course only week three so next week everything will completely change.
I find it hard to believe having heard some of the comments coming from the Carolina football players after the A Stomping they took. This game means more to ECU than us. It's their Super Bowl. College players need to realize that it is a privilege to play college football and when injury can strike on any play and your college career could end they need to act as if every game is their Super Bowl.
Comments like these are some of the reason you hear people say ABC anybody but Carolina. There is an attitude in Chapel Hill that they are better than everyone else and I don't know how you can become better until you admit that you had your head handed to you on a silver platter. It is obvious since Mack brown left that Carolina football is an elite program right? Until they humble themselves Carolina will be an also ran because until you admit we are not as good as we think they will never get better.
The Futures Tour season ended Sunday and Cousin Lauren Doughtie finished 49th on the year leaving her to hope to make the LPGA in November when they have a qualifying school when only 4 or 5 out of 144 will make the tour. Her scoring average was 73.48 while the top money winner averaged 71.22. Even with our hopes of being on the LPGA tour 73.48 will not cut it so it will be better to come back to the Futures Tour next year.
